VALUE OF TRANSPORTATION-RELATED EXPORTS

VALUE OF TRANSPORTATION-RELATED EXPORTS

Automobiles vehicles (including engines and parts), and travel are the leading
commodities in U.S. transportation related exports. Exports of civilian aircraft,
engines and parts also contributed a significant portion to the U.S. total. In
the fourth quarter of 2001, all U.S. transportation-related exports decreased.
Out of these decreases, the drop in exports of travel services was particularly
sharp, reflecting the impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. However,
travel services exports rebounded in the first two quarters of 2002, making up
much of the decline.
